Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Housecall Pro

  • Card processing fees start at 2.59%
  • Additional users in Essentials cost $100 per month; in MAX plan $75 per month
  • Bank payment fee of 1% charged

Workiz

  • Workiz has removed list prices from its own pricing page, so plan cost now requires a quote and there is no public figure to hold the sales conversation against.
  • Each plan includes only a handful of members and additional ones are billed as add-ons at a rate the company does not publish, so a ten person crew costs substantially more than the base plan figure implies.
  • Automations are capped per tier at five, ten and thirty, so a business that automates follow-ups aggressively hits the ceiling and has to upgrade for the automation count alone rather than for any feature it wants.
  • Inventory, purchase orders, equipment tracking and API access are all confined to the top Ultimate tier, which puts basic parts tracking behind the most expensive plan.
  • Card processing rates are set per account rather than published, so payment fees, which are usually the largest recurring line for a field service firm, are invisible until you are quoted.
